How to acquire a CPAP.

with Insurance

The common path with health insurance is to

  1. Make an appointment with a Sleep Doctor
  2. Get an appointment for a Sleep Study to Test for the presence of a sleep disorder, commonly Sleep Apnea, and determine what type of Apnea you have and how bad it is.
  3. Get an Appointment for a Titration Sleep Study to determine settings for your new CPAP machine
  4. Get prescription for the CPAP machine of your choice from your Sleep Doctor.
  5. Visit your DME to pickup your CPAP machine from your DME

It is strongly suggested that you post a full copy (with personal information redacted) to the Apnea Board Forum so that you know what kind of CPAP would be best for you. This is typically an Auto CPAP which is flexible and fully compatible with The best software available for you to monitor your therapy. Note that these studies often indicate or hint at more complicated apneas which may need a more advanced version of a CPAP than is recommended to treat.

without Insurance

The reasons for purchasing without insurance boil down to two reasons, you do not have insurance, or you are choosing to purchase out of pocket.

Note: Legally the US Requires a Prescription to purchase any CPAP or any CPAP mask.
